Hi Hilly, have a great week and look forward to your reports. Which wind direction do you find best to Wingfoil the Bommie & boat ramps. Also the gps tracks you posted showed you gotta dodge an inside reef, in general is it much of an issue? I'm down that way over Chrissy and hoping to give it a crack. Cheers

Credit goes to Marty for glassing and me for sanding.
It is a very nice tail. Turns well and allows a shorter fuse but to remain stable in pitch. Decent foil cross section. When I get it back I have some improvements in mind.

It is in your 3.5 bag. Thanks for the lend.
ok verdict from today different tails . 1250 front wing with 20 to 30 knots 212 - fast, super smooth turns tight dips a bit. Hard to get up and drops off quickly. 232 - fast and smooth great in long arc turns, stable less dipping. Great pump.

Richies tail - slow, very dippy needed to get right back to balance, rear leg pump. Very surfy when on a small wave, easy to stay in the steep sections. Would be a great sup tail.
all good fun trying different gear. Cut down 300 soon I hope.
